Compound operations soon become basic operations in the mind of an
expert.

Lifting your feet, and then landing your feet might be basic operations
when you are 1 yo, but soon enough they become "walking".

[caveat: please don't take the rest of this post too seriously]

Yeah, using another name for a compound is yet another option indeed.
"git cretching"?


This is very questionable example. Please don't let me even start on
this.

You don't need to validate the concept, but chunking is an established
concept in cognitive pshychology [1]. It's how humans learn (and
possibly machines too).

The urdge to dive into the muddy waters of psychology to support your
example, where pure logic should probably have sufficed, makes the
example only even more suspect.

Suspect to you, maybe, not to anyone who works in the teaching industry,
where this concept is well understood and accepted.

Well, if you've replied to them, then I'm sorry.

To me your particular example:

Similarly checking out a commit and then cherry-picking a sequence
of commits while resolving conflicts becomes "rebasing".

remains controversial; concepts or no concepts.
